Six Weeks Later, Chanyeol's POV.
The gasp leaves his throat before he can stop it, seconds later he's bolting upright in a desperate attempt to calm his beating heart. It's not the first time he's woken in a panic, he can handle the absolute fear and trepidation coursing through his veins. What he can't handle is waking up his delicate kitten, he's quick to turn his head relief washing over him once he spots the blanket burrito still softly snoring. To ensure his kitten remains sleeping, he quietly untangles the layers of silk and duck feathers they use as a duvet. It only takes a couple of steps before he's standing and one of their double floor to celling windows. He takes a deep breath and feels the last vestiges of his nightmare leave his body.

Standing in the serene quiet of the night, he lets the moonlight heal away those terror's. Now they don't reside in his penthouse it's not so bright at night, here there's no glare of city lights or sounds of the city. Just the light of the night sky, their soundproofing cutting out the far away hustle and bustle of traffic, late night bars and general noise pollution.

Taking a deep breath does feel a bit like a double edged sword as he has no idea where the nightmare came from, yet he has a good idea what's caused it and what it was about. It's been a fair few weeks since he was told about Kris's departure to New York. Yes it could be a mere coincidence that the people he used to love but now despises more then the bugs he has to save his kitten from, are now not just in the same country, but likely to be in the same city, separated by the steel bars of Adam's cell.

Chanyeol feels the burn of hate all the way through his nostrils, logically he knows Adam is locked in some padded cell. Kris should have his tale between his legs over his husband's antics, but knowing them both he knows this is just the calm before the storm and that anything is possible. A storm he just knows his delicate beautiful kitten is going to bear the brunt of. The cockroach's past actions certainly indicate how unhinged he can be, he will never forget the terrified face of his kitten at Adam's break in. His own nightmares pale in comparison to the terror that vile dirty cockroach inflicted on his delicate kitten, the worst moment that dreaded attempt of Adam with his car that was intended to take Baekhyun away from him forever.

Chanyeol shudders as the memories of those first few hours after that horrific car accident assault him. The feelings, the sounds of his kittens silent crying, and those injuries, are what will never leave him. Now in this silence before the incoming battle he vows his delicate kitten will be protected no matter what. He's already hired an extra guard for the gated housing complex, added an upgraded security system to their townhouse one complete with intruder notification straight to both his work and personal numbers. Light sensors added to all the lights to alert his deaf kitten in place of alarms,  if someone gets close enough that isn't recognised the whole light system will flash blue.

Yes his kitten has implants but he knows that too much noise still overwhelms him, he doesn't have to be told but he knows that his kitten sometimes doesn't always switch on his implants. Whatever he wants to think about next is stopped instantly when the darkness of their bedroom is suddenly filled with a slightly off yellow shimmering light. A light that catches the damask patterns of the open curtains, the light swathes the calm muted pistachio and pink colour scheme as he turns to find what he had hoped to avoid.

There bathed in golden yellow glow of a rare Tiffany lamp, wrapped up in a pink and green duvet is his red haired clearly still very much asleep kitten. Nothing makes his mood shift faster than the gorgeous creature he so damn lucky he gets to call his husband.

It still amazes him how just one look at this innocent creature stirs all things love, lust, and an indescribable need to hear this one perfect kitten moan his name in that breathless needy moan again and again and again. He has to will his erection down, as looking at his beautiful disheveled kitten and the hint of luminous skin he can see outside of his kittens duvet burrito, is sporting a rather large and dark purple bruise of their earlier escapade between the sheets of their gold framed 4 poster bed.

He will never get enough of his petite husband and despite the stress of the unknown of the Wu couple, he's so relieved that his own libido has not changed. That his perfect little kitten hasn't ever stopped welcoming his touch, he's so proud of his little kitten and his new sensuality never once denying his often constant desire of the flesh. The sparks of arousal in his veins doing nothing to help his still present erection. Yes he would love nothing more than to devour his kitten, but not now when his kitten clearly needs to rest.

He can feel the smile form on his face as his kitten breaks his eyes open just enough to seek him out, so in tune to each other that it takes his very much sleepy kitten just a second to find him. This time instead of that beautiful soft voice he's come to love it's the familiar fluid hand movement of sign language.

Come back to bed.

Baekhyun's POV.
His heart melts at the smile in his husband's face and eyes, a ripple of both love and arousal floods his veins at that private smile he knows Chanyeol has only for him. If he were more with it he'd make his statement that much more exciting, he certainly tries to insinuate a bonus as he allows his cocoon of silk and velvet brocade duvet of pistachio and cherry blossom pink flowers slide down his right shoulder blade.  Just that little bit more.

Just far enough to show more then just his love bite bruised shoulder, the silk brocade giving way just that little bit more to reveal his still puffy  nipple from all his husbands prior attention. As much as he yearns for more, the twinge in his back and sting of sitting on his still sensitive bum scream it's not a good idea, something his always in tune husband picks up on instantly as he watches Chanyeol sign you should be sleeping.

I felt the moment you left the bed, darling what's wrong?

Nothing my love.

Chanyeol, please darling I know you I can see the tension in your shoulders, the strain In your eyes. Remember we promised to always share are fears.

Nothing gets by you kitten does it.

Baekhyun smiles and shakes his head, it's not that nothing gets by him, they both are just so in sync with each other any differences in their normal patterns is instantly noticed. He knows the older both heart and soul, and knows that this episode is not related to anything that Chanyeol is dealing with at his office. It's makes his own heart beat spike as he's pretty sure he knows the reason for his husband's sudden restlessness. He just really hates the hold that diabolical couple have over them, even when one is locked away in a cage thousands of miles away.

This is about the Wu's isn't it, please my love don't try and hide it I know it must be them no one else gets under your skin quite like that couple.

Kitten, I know them they are bound to be up to something.

It truly breaks his heart to see his husband so disturbed by the recent news, he's not exactly thrilled that Kris was seen getting on a plane and it does bring back awful flashbacks of what they did.  In fact he winces as a phantom pain shoots up past his ear and over his thigh. Something that has his glorious husband back beside him. The earlier tension gone replaced instantly with concern, and perhaps a hint of smugness in his smirk.

"Are you sore kitten!"

Baekhyun knows exactly what his husband is doing, he's trying to change the subject, an art form that his husband is very much an expert in. Yet right now he will happily play along if it gets his husband thinking of anything but the toxic Wu's.

Living up to his pet name when he feels Chanyeol cup his cheek, he's all too happy to lean into his husband's gentle hold. Nodding softly he can't deny that there's a burn in his lower back that stings, he's quite happy to feel it as it reminds him just how close and Intimate they are.

"A little" is what he manages to stutter out in a whisper, it's followed by "tired too." He could hide the fact that he is tired and sore but he knows that his husband knows him better than himself at this rate. He owes so much to this man and right now he wants their bubble of love to continue. Not let those toxic pest take up any more of their time, he knows they are going to especially with the recent developments that have both himself and his protective husband almost reclusive. Something that really has to change as they are not the ones at wrong, "my beautiful kitten it's all going to be ok."

"I know it will Chanyeol, do you want to know why, it's because I have you and together we can do anything, overcome anything."

"I promise you kitten, I will alway keep you safe."

Baekhyun can feel it that promise along with the swell of his emotions, he knows this is a promise that he too will make sure of after all this magnificent man is human too. He goes to say something but can't when Chanyeol places a finger over his lips, he so loves this beautiful human with all his heart the emotions getting the best of him as a tear escapes one that his loving husband is quick to capture.

For a moment all that exists is each other as they both basque in each other's energy, his gentle husband comfortingly stroking his cheek, as he continues to let the tears flow it's both the love he has for his husband and a little bit of fear of the unknown that he can ignore but is bound to appear when they least expect it. Right now he doesn't want to think about them, something his husband seems to sense to.

"Come on kitten, no more despair over those assholes, it's just you and me"

It's exactly what he needs to hear and instead of responding with words he leans forward and presses his lips to Chanyeol's in a soft kiss, it does ignite the fire of arousal that is ever present between them. He's about to declare just how much he loves his husband as their gentle kiss deepens, much to his embarrassment the ache of his limbs and tiredness appears making him pull away from the kiss to both wince and yawn.

An act not missed by his husband who chuckles and shakes his head in clear fondness,  "come on kitten you need your beauty sleep before class." He's knows he's pouting as he would love for there intimate kiss to continue but he knows Chanyeol is right he has an 8am class, but he will not be resting alone. Gently he pulls his Hous bad down with him, quickly like the kitten he is burrows down on to that hot hard chest. Almost purring when the soft silk of the duvet is pulled over them both.

"I love you so much Chanyeol.

"I love you too kitten."

It's all he needs to hear before the comfort of Chanyeol's steady breathing lull him back to sleep.

Hello my lovelies,

I hope this is a surprise you were not expecting, well done if you guessed this story to be the next one I updated.

Yes it's short, but inspiration hit when I was saw a picture of  our Chanbeak, and this is the perfect filler before it starts to heat up with the drama.

I really can't wait to hear what you think.

Again thank you so much for sticking with me

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
